"The struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma is a struggle for life and dignity.

It is a struggle that encompasses our political, social and economic aspirations."


From Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's opening keynote address at NGO Forum on Women, Beijing 1995

"Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of one of the Burma's most cherished heroes, the martyred General Aung San, who led his country's fight for independence from Great Britain in the 1940s and was killed for his beliefs in 1947. Suu Kyi has equaled her father's heroics with her calm but passionate advocacy of freedom and democracy in the country now called Myanmar, a name chosen by one of the most insensitive and brutal military dictatorships in the world. The ruling junta -- "political party" would be too generous a concession -- goes by the Orwellian name of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC).

A watershed in her life was 1988, when Suu Kyi received a call from Burma that her mother had suffered a stroke and did not have long to live. Suu Kyi returned to Burma, leaving her husband and two children behind in England, having cautioned them years earlier that duty may one day call her back to her homeland."

We are a small but determined loose-knit group of Burmese exiles and allies from the United States brought together by our shared passion for the Burmese people and our democracy leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. We engage in grassroots activism to bring the world's attention to the desperate human rights situation in Burma, the illegal ongoing incarceration of Aung San Suu Kyi, and the obligation of the rest of the world to take meaningful action to end the tyranny of the Burmese military regime.
